Hi! I’m Kelly and welcome to our 2nd Chance Restoration page! We are a family owned business started by accident after I lost my corporate job due to layoffs. I needed to provide an income somehow, and even though I had been painting small furniture pieces since I was young, it never occurred to me to take a hobby and passion and turn it into something bigger. We started small with a desk here and there, and then bureaus, etc. Then we noticed a need for cabinets to be transformed (bathrooms AND kitchens), and banister updates, and whitewashing of fireplaces etc… We pride ourselves on seeing a need and being the ‘go to’ place for so many who are looking to do some refreshes to their homes.

Here we are more than 10 years later with hundreds of clients, a 98% referral rate, countless pieces that have been restyled and thousands of cabinet doors that have been transformed. We love working with our clients who are striving to keep their family heirlooms as showcase pieces and are excited to see what each year has in store for us. I hope you’ll join us on the journey and enjoy looking through our website for inspiration…

When you have the Monday-est Monday in awhile 😩.

These cabinets had 3 layers of paint on them. After sanding for 4 hours as part of my prep today, I accidentally nicked the edge of one of the frames and a sheet of paint fell off 🥹.

Silly me picked at it and all of a sudden, the entire kitchen turned into Pandora’s box as I needed to get to the bottom this mystery! 2 hours of hand picking and scraping later, this kitchen has been ‘peeled’ back to its original wood. This means that 3 coats ago, the original painter did not use primer and just through some paint on them. 🤦‍♀️

While I wasn’t thrilled about the extra hours, I’m happy for my clients that I won’t be the 4th coat of paint on these cabinets and they get to start from ‘new’.

We couldn’t be happier with our kitchen transformation. The entire experience, from consult to completion was so easy! Kelly is knowledgable, professional, and frankly a perfectionist. She was honest in her assessment of our project and worked with us to figure out all the details that would make our tired old kitchen look and feel new again. She takes pride in her work and cares about making her clients’ vision a reality. Thank you, Kelly!!

Working with Kelly was a dream!! She has vision, is always positive, on time, accommodating, and a true miracle worker! From the moment Kelly came to the house for the initial consultation, she was very thorough in explaining the process. She brought color options and suggestions. She also answered any questions we had.

When the process started, Kelly reached out ahead of time to ensure we had everything all set and even came to the house again to walk through the process one more time. When the painting began, the timeline was adhered to and you also would never know that she was there. No mess was left behind and I didn’t even have to empty my cabinets!! My husband and I are thrilled with the final results. We love our kitchen again. When guests come over they all comment on how spectacular the kitchen looks and they are shocked to know that the cabinets were painted. The quality of her work is phenomenal!

We highly recommend 2nd Chance Restoration! I wish I had more projects for her!!
